Cut Me Down

By Cable Ties - Lyrics by Jennifer McKechnie

VERSE 1
Well you threw my bike down onto the floor
And you stood above me with your shoulders bold
And I stood there shaking but I wouldn’t fold
And you called me psycho and a crazy bitch
Cause I wouldn’t see it the way you saw it
Well that’s a neat way for you to put it to rest ain’t it so?

PRE-CHORUS
You cut me down, cut me down
You shut me out, shut me out

VERSE 2
So she walked in there with her agenda straight
She said I don’t want for you to treat me that way
But he brushed her off as he laughed in her face
‘You’re a crazy harpie you imagined it
And I’m a good bloke to put up with your shit
Because any other fella would have split your lip’

PRE-CHORUS
You cut her down, cut her down
You shut her out, shut her out

CHORUS
I’m not crazy, I’m just not backing down
I said I’m not fucked up, you’ve just gone and fucked me round
Cause you can’t block your ears and then complain when I shout
Because I’m not crazy, I’m just not backing down

VERSE 3
Well he didn’t make the rules but he likes to play
And who wouldn’t when the rules are stacked your way
And everybody listens to what you say
He said I’m the king of reason baby you’re the fool
So anything you say I can overrule
So you better quit your whining better play it cool

PRE-CHORUS
You cut me down, cut me down
You shut her out, shut her out

CHORUS
I’m not crazy, I’m just not backing down
I said I’m not fucked up, you’ve just gone and fucked me round
Cause you can’t block your ears and then complain when I shout
Because I’m not crazy, I’m just not backing down x2

about

Cable Ties image

Cable Ties Melbourne, Australia

Cable Ties are frenetic lead lines tethered to a hypnotic rhythm section. They take the 3 minute punk burner and stretch it past breaking point. Suddenly the garage rock gives way as primitive boogie, kraut and post-punk take things way out to the horizon. ... more
